Where to Find Haunted Houses in Southwest Michigan
Do you like scary movies?
This famous line kicked off the Scream franchise and will forever be associated with the iconic Ghostface character.
While I saw Scream (and its sequels), I’ll admit that I don’t really enjoy scary movies- but I do love Halloween.
Like both? For those who love Halloween and a good scare, read on for some haunted houses in Kalamazoo and nearby cities.
We’ve found attractions safe for all ages and scarier options for teens and adults.
Be sure to let us know how they went (I’ll be safe under the blankets at home).

Haunted Houses for Big Kids & Adults
These haunted attractions are for the older crowd and deliver scary, sometimes gory, experiences.
Many of these experiences are too intense for tweens and younger kids.
Be sure to contact the hosts with questions about “scare level” and suggested ages.
We recommend purchasing tickets in advance to secure your date and timeslot.
